Saltburn (2023) Movie Thread

[Emma]

I watched this last weekend and really enjoyed it, although it loses steam slightly in the third act.

Performances are good across the board in a "these are all awful people" sort of way, and it looks lavish, which works to sell the contrast between Coming From Money or not.

It's effectively a mix of The Talented Mr Ripley and Riot Club, mostly pulled off with flair.

The bath water scene is a bit sick, but the movie generally is nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is.

Spoiler

It doesn't work as a whodunit because there aren't any actual clues, yet the "twist" at the end is so obviously telegraphed throughout, that there won't be a single person watching who hasn't seen what's coming.

It's quite good for shock value, but as movies go, it was rubbish.

Not for us. We got halfway through and Eily turned it off
